Train derails in Kushtia

A shuttle train derailed near Khoksa Railway Station in Kushtia yesterday.
At least five passengers were injured in stampedes as they scrambled for getting down from the train during the incident.
Shamsul Alam, the station master, said three bogies out of nine of the Poradah-bound train from Rajbari ran off the railway tracks at about 11:00am.
Train services were suspended for nine hours on Goalondo-Khulna and Goalondo-Rajshahi routes due to the derailment.
